If you cannot pass on your ownership rights to your purchased games to your children, then you cannot pass on your copyright either, I guess?
Fine just create a digital corporation of your identity and assign rights to that instead. I hear they have the same rights as people.
Valve needs to be forced to allow customers to sell and trade their digital games
If buying isn’t owning, piracy isn’t stealing
(keep a copy of mr. goldburg)
It is worth noting here that Valve recently announced a new feature that allows Steam users to share games with their friends and family. Dubbed “Steam Families,”
New? That exists for years Oo. Or what am I missing here?
Previously, if you shared your library and someone else was playing any game, they would get ejected from said game and be unable to play any other game, as soon as you started to play any game whatsoever.
This made it more or less useless.
Now they changed it to where you can only play the same game as many times as your family collectively owns it. So, if your family member plays a game you only have a single copy of, they can keep doing so, until you start that exact game. You may still need to activate the client beta for this, but it’ll be active for everyone eventually. (Don’t know if it is yet, as I’m using the beta)
What’s a steam account and why would i want one?
It’s the biggest video game marketplace/launcher/DRM makers for PC. If you play video games on PC most games you buy would probably have to be through steam. Their parent company, Valve, is the only multi-billion dollar company I like because so far they have stayed pro-consumer.
😂 this platform continues to make me laugh. Everybody worships steam but somehow all other businesses are bad.
Yes as a long time PC gamer, I don’t understand why people act as if steam and valve are gods. Like ok cool it has the most games and whatever, but they’ve been going downhill. There’s so many random asset flips and porn games now, and their sales have been shit for years now. I remember games going on sale for 90% off during seasonal sales, and all the % off coupons they’d just randomly give out. That never happens now.
Yeah also billionaires are literally satan but Gabe Newell gets a pass for some reason lol
